The construction of the satellite-controlled toll system, due to go into operation on December 1, has thus far cost CZK 2.3 billion (approximately EUR 90.2 million).

The government is concerned about possible chronic traffic bottlenecks, as not all freight forwarders have registered their vehicles, Czech Radio said on Monday.
